7 Of Our Favorite Date Night Outfits

Liz is We Love Dates social media manager. A former marketing account executive in the fashion industry, a bad breakup spurred Liz to start her first blog 5 years ago and she has been happily over-sharing with anyone who will read ever since. Obsessed with all things dating, love and tech, Liz has been referred to as the brunette Carrie Bradshaw on more than one occasion. If it's a day that ends in "Y", most likely you will find Liz furiously typing away on her laptop with a huge espresso nearby. Or two. Follow her every thought on Twitter and Google+.

First dates can be the cause of a lot of anxiety. Between wondering what you’ll talk about and planning your escape route just in case things go awry, you also have to decide what to wear! Your go-to date night outfit should be something that you feel confident and comfortable in. If you’re constantly pulling your new sexy low rise jeans up, they’ll quickly loose their sex appeal. You’ll also want to wear something that your date will like, so maybe save the trendy, avant garde look for a night out with the girls instead.

It’s also a good idea to walk the line between dressing up too much and being too casual. Jeans are great, just make sure they aren’t your rattiest, baggiest pair. You’ll definitely want to appear like you made a special effort to look nice (hopefully he will do the same, right?), without looking like you’re trying too hard. It’s not a formal event, it’s dinner and drinks!

For a bit of inspiration, and to help you answer the age old question, “What should I wear on a date?” I’ve asked all of the WeLoveDates writers to share what they reach for in their closets before a first date…their date night uniforms, so to speak!

I’ll go first!
I reach for my favorite pair of worn in-yet still snug in all the right places-skinny jeans, a deep v-neck t-shirt and my prized vegan leather jacket. I also wear heels that are super high but ones that I can walk in well (no baby deer here),add tons and tons of bracelets, and a swipe Mac Ruby Red lipstick on the lips!

Simone
My city is pretty casual, so for day time dates I usually reach for a pair of skinnies, a silk blouse, ankle boots, & my leather jacket. For night time dates, I usually go for one a dress, black tights, ankle boots + leather jacket. On my lips: Tarte’s “Fever” (a sheer red) I almost always wear my marc jacobs bangle as my first date good luck charm!
